Installations, performances, activities, or other projects that can be set up outdoors are welcome. Indoor space may be available for certain projects, though we strongly encourage you to take advantage of the beautiful outdoor environment on Governors Island. You can set up your own area or host a scheduled event or performance. If you have an idea for FIGMENT and have questions about whether it’s plausible, don’t hesitate to get in touch. No matter what you do, the one requirement is that it somehow engages audience participation. Just bring it to FIGMENT and try it out!
